Ted Russell Kamp - Straightaway lyrics
For 20 years I worked my hands right down to the bone. I've been underneath these cars so long, this garage is like my second home. But I made my choice. I did it all for you. Your Mama loved you so but died when you were just a kid. I raised you up so you don't make the same mistakes I did. I paved this road for you. So you don't have to walk. You can drive on through. The race you run is like the life you're living everyday. Can you take the heat? Take the speed? Can you turn the play? It's all about when you wait and when you make your move. It's when you win or lose, on the straightaway. Now I'm 21. My Daddy's set to set me free. He said take this car, my pride and joy, it's a Barracuda '73. "cause I know you love to race more than me and these old tools". So hold tight on the curves and, Son, don't fall out of the line. I wish you luck You got my love. I'll pray for you. You'll do just fine. Just try and make me proud. And make yourself proud too. The race you run is like the life you're living everyday. Can you take the heat? Take the speed? Can you turn the play? It's all about when you wait and when you make your move. It's when you win or lose, on the straightaway. Racing all the off roads and the old Odessa streets. Now I'm headed for the big time to see who I can beat. solo Now I'm up against the greats. The drivers that my Daddy knows. He's probably fixing up a car and listening to the radio. And that announcer is talking. And he's talking about me. I wonder how I'll size up, up against these #1's. I just hope that I live long enough to tell a single son about what my Daddy said to me about living on the run. The race you run is like the life you're living everyday. Can you take the heat? Take the speed? Can you turn the play? It's all about when you wait and when you make your move. It's when you win or lose, on the straightaway. |
